Commentary on Jeremiah 50:20

Whom I reserve. Literally, “whom I shall cause to remain.” This text is an assurance of pardon to God’s remnant people; the RSV reads, “for I will pardon those whom I leave as a remnant.” The Jews who were left at the end of the Captivity were here given the promise that if they were repentant God would no longer hold against them the evil deeds of their past history.
